Volvo Trucks
Volvo Trucks’ deliveries during the period January-October amounted to 85,337 vehicles, in line compared with the year-earlier period. Europe continues to show a favorable growth, especially in Eastern Europe where deliveries rose 42%. Strong growth in Eastern Europe combined with Volvo Trucks new competitive product program has contributed to the increased deliveries. Deliveries on the North American market rose 17% to 31,223 vehicles. The strong demand is mostly related to the pre-buy effect pending the forthcoming emission regulations in January 2007. Accordingly, demand is expected to decline significantly during the first half of 2007.
